[Shadowrun] Sprawl Stories (Accepting new players!)

Thorin continued to grin as he grasped another drink and quickly drained the contents, making it practically the third in a row he’d necked. A buzz was quickly beginning to take hold of him, the familiar and glorious feeling causing his mood to soar. He was more than an experienced drinker, probably actually a borderline alcoholic – he’d gotten the art of riding a high down to a tee, being able to drink copious amounts whilst still being able to maintain control (more or less) of his actions. As Quicksilver asked about what had happened in the club Thorin smirked and began to tell the story, the girl also shot in several comments as he did. Turned out she was already pretty intoxicated, obviously having been in the club for some time, but they were getting along pretty well and so he occasionally lowered his voice and would murmur something to her causing her to either laugh or blush.

As the group began to play poker he started to ask about the others, probing here or there into things that had interested him about them. He kept things simple and didn’t probe too much, trying more so to get to know them than actually interrogating them. He already knew he liked Quicksilver, and was definitely looking forwards to seeing how he worked on the job. Red Five interested him, and he hoped he would get on with her. Thorin had always been interested in hacking and if she was as good as he figured she would be then he was definitely impressed.

Accepting the poker invite the cards visualised on the table before him, his cybereyes seamlessly integrating a heads-up display alongside which would display his hand amogst other things. He also had a number of programs which would calculate odds and on occasion tip the scales in his favour, but he disabled them – not wanting to use anything like that in tonight’s game that might ruin the fun. As they played he joked occasionally and continued to drink heavily, also practically chain-smoking as the night wore on. He made sure to keep talking to the girl as well, after all if he neglected her completely to play poker his chances wouldn’t be great. He played only slightly recklessly, the alcohol giving him a slight disposition to take risks. If it came to it he had some nuyen to lose, always having an almost considerable amount set aside for this gambling ventures. He just hoped the cards were on his side.

Yup!

Sore todaay :D Workin on me posting now.

[Shadowrun] Sprawl Stories (Accepting new players!)

I will post first thing tomorrow morning - I'm pretty tired and sore. Had an 'accident' at work today. Was running up the stairs in my office (knew I shoulda waited for the lift), with my hands in my pockets and tripped. My foot caught on a step and I flew shin and knee first into these nasty metal edges they got.

Was not cool at all. Nasty cuts and bruises.

Been hobbling around the rest of the day and I'm dreading how I'll feel tomorrow, but hey - day off work?

[Shadowrun] Sprawl Stories (Accepting new players!)

Yeah I suppose I wouldn't object to a quick poker game. Though I feel really conscious holding people up, so maybe only one extra post? And we can just include lots of the poker game, and finish up real quick.

Definitely don't want peeps to sit around waiting for when they can post.

The Inheritance Game

Sweet CS :)

The Uisilons

Yeah wasn't so bad at all! Ended up going on quite the trek - something I normally wouldn't do. Walked about ten miles into the country and found a sweet pub by a river. Apart from that not much!

@jagajac Yeah - know what back to the grind feels like! Sounds like an appropriate mantra! I'm so happy I have Wednesday off this week.

Not sure what the deal with the RP is though, I suppose we are waiting for AnaSilan Sunja to be a postin.

Though we cooould take the iniative and continue - but AnaSilan Sunja likes the posting round format so maybe not.

Waiting for Megumi, Sun or Yuga to post, but mostly AnaSilan Sunja I'd guess :p

[Shadowrun] Sprawl Stories (Accepting new players!)

Yay posted!

I’m actually super digging this RP… and to think I wasn’t even gonna post up a CS… Thanks again for messaging me Munk – super glad you did!

Also on a note totally unrelated to Thorin’s plans for this evening – but inter-meta-species lovin happens right? Trolls get love as well yeah?

[Shadowrun] Sprawl Stories (Accepting new players!)

Thorin grinned slightly as each of them accepted the offer one after another. It seemed things were definitely on. He picked up the data-chip and placed it into one of his pockets before glancing at Red Five as she spoke "Right, the safehouse is in Auburn, not too far from the Algona Hospital. Shouldn't be too hard to find. I hope everyone knows how to get there, preferably without falling on their asses?" she asked.

Thorin grinned again and responded with a brief glance at Old Soul “I’ll be there tomorrow bright and early… more or less” resisting the urge to poke more fun at the young mage as he took another drink from his flask. He shrugged as Thovren left the room, unable to think of anything that required his ‘attention’. Next to leave was Old Soul, a quick joke before a word of thanks - this caught Thorin’s interest, or rather the wording that he used, something about having no choice but to take the job making him wonder what he could be referring to, and made a mental note to ask about it sometime in the future.

With their business concluded for the evening Thorin considered what to do, realising that he didn’t really need to prepare anything beforehand. Glancing around the private room he considered remaining here for the evening seeing as the music was more than bearable when it was mostly inaudible to him, and the earlier card game had given him a want to gamble and drink the evening away. Looking at the remaining members he said “Well, I’m going to tell the barstaff to keep the drinks coming tonight, seeing as we have this lovely private room and all” before he stood and moved towards the doorway “if any of you want to join me then be my guests”.

Bracing his ears for the onslaught of terrible music he quickly left the room and made his way to the bar, shouting a few words at the bartender to get her attention. After explaining what he wanted and gesturing towards the room he made to move back towards the others but knocked into beautiful young human girl as he did – his bulk sending her crashing into the back of a pair of elven thugs who were clearly high as kites, the pair turning with aggressive snarls on their faces. A few moments and a few thrown punches later Thorin returned to the private room, girl closely in tow. She almost didn’t look old enough to be in a place like this, clearly in her late teens – however her lengthy blonde hair with several green coloured streaks, combined with her almost innocent gaze and neon facepaint was enough for Thorin to want to spend some time getting to know her. Their business was concluded so he was sure the others wouldn’t object to bringing an ‘outsider’ into the room, and if they did they could always go someplace else.

As he sat he gestured to Old Soul’s empty chair and the girl joined him, she looked a little perplexed after the sudden a swift incident outside, but already seemed to be taken with Thorin after he’d caved the first thug’s face in as soon as he grabbed the girl and started trying to grope her. A staff-member entered the room a few moments later with a tray filled with various drinks and placed them on the centre of the table, as they turned to leave Thorin said “Don’t forget to keep them coming” as he took out a packet of smokes and offered one to the girl before he laid them on the table. Thorin doubted Mr Johnson would return, but he wondered about his card playing buddies. Either way he was sure that he would enjoy himself this evening, and glancing over at Quicksilver he said gruffly “Hey Quickie, sticking around?” Turning his attention to the others he said “And what about you lovely ladies, will we be enjoying your company now our business is concluded?” his eyes lingered on Lei-Ne for a few moments longer before he looked away.

The Inheritance Game

Yeah I'm assuming definitely still open to new folks - haven't started or anything yet :)

Not heard anything about not going ahead :)
